Description

When you've got a puppy planning to add pounds fast, you need a food to keep up! Large breeds have added nutritional requirements, and Wellness Complete Health Large Breed Puppy Recipe is the dry food that delivers. Precise calcium and phosphorous levels ensure your pup gets the amount he needs to build strong bones without becoming overloaded, and DHA-rich salmon meal makes sure his brain develops so he can pass doggy obedience school at the top of his class!

Key Benefits

Great source of DHA for healthy brain development

Flaxseed nourishes the coat and keeps skin clean

Yucca Schidigera extract helps reduce odor in stool

Taurine supports a healthy heart

Specially formulated for large breed puppies during the first year of life

For pregnant or nursing dogs: Since DHA is transferred to puppies in mother’s milk, we recommend feeding this during pregnancy and nursing. When pregnant, feed up to 50% more food according to body weight for 12 mos. For nursing dogs, allow her to eat at will.

Every puppy is a little different, so optimal feeding amounts may vary with age, size, activity level, breed and environment. Please use feeding guidelines as an initial recommendation and adjust as needed.

Transition Instructions

It is important to slowly transition your puppy from his/her current diet as it takes a few days for the body to adapt to the new nutrient levels. To transition, gradually mix in the new food over a 5 - 7 day period, increasing the amount of Wellness each day, so that you are feeding 100% Wellness by day 7.

Nutrition for Large Breed Dogs

With greater size, there is more muscle to support and keep strong, so Wellness Complete Health Large Breed recipes use more protein and feature Wellness' Wellflex® system of glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate to support healthy joints. Additionally, a bigger, rounder kibble helps promote proper chewing time in larger mouths.

Supporting Complete Health

Wellness Complete Health recipes are carefully formulated with natural ingredients and super nutrients to provide whole-body nutritional support. Each tasty recipe is designed to be easily digestible and features quality protein and Omega-3 and 6 fatty acids. Available in a variety of sizes and flavors, Wellness Complete Health provides uncompromising nutrition for your pet's unconditional love.

APPLES

GROUND FLAXSEED

Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids which improve the shine of the pet's coat and high in fiber which helps move food through the digestive system.

DISAPPOINTED DIDN'T WORK OUT

By justlcb

After exhaustive research, reading stellar reviews and going with The Dog Food Advisor's 5-star rating, this was my pick for my 8 wk. old, Rottweiler puppy. He could not/would not eat it. The flat, triangle-shaped, rather large kibble was so difficult for him to grab hold of, but more importantly, it was impossible to bite down on. The kibbles are unbelievably hard!! I tried soaking his portion in scalding, hot water for 15 min. and STILL could not break them apart with a spoon. I was thinking the smaller, irregular pieces would be easier to eat, but couldn't make it happen. Chewy's with their amazing customer service are refunding my money. Need to figure out something else.

Real quality food

I’ve been feeding this to my puppy for the past couple of months and it’s clear it is a high quality food. Her weight is perfect and she’s getting bigger every day. Her coat is soft and shiny. She did get a little bored of it after the first week and needed to be coaxed into eating it so I started mixing in Wellness canned puppy food. After a few weeks doing that she seemed to get bored again. I don’t know if she’s just picky and spoiled (which is very likely) but now I just mix in a little chicken or a hard boiled egg to keep her interested and that has been working. Her vet actually said to me “whatever you’re doing as far as feeding, keep doing it”.

My 9wk Old Golden Hates It

I was really excited to transition him into this food from pedigree to Wellness as it was much more healthier. Unfortunately after a week from the transition (with his pedigree food still combined with wellness) he refused to eat it. He would just smell it and walk away, I thought maybe he’s not hungry right now but he tried skipping 2 meals (breakfast and lunch) and so I decided to go buy wet food and combine in hopes he would eat it, but he only ate the wet food. Now I’m stuck with an almost full 30 lb bag.

Fast Delivery and pup loves it!

Fast delivery from chewy. Placed the order on Thursday night and had it on Monday. Our puppy loves this food. Before we were feeding him wellness core grain free and his stool was soft and he wasn’t big fan of it. He does love this one complete health for large breeds and his stool is normal. I did spend a lot of time doing research on food and multiple sources showed wellness as one of the top brands. Additionally I learned that grain free is not recommended by fda so this is much better choice.

My puppy stopped eating it after the second bag

When I adopted my now 9 months puppy, she was on Hills Science Diet and I had to change her food because of her beef, pork, wheat, brewers yeast allergies. I tried a couple of different brands and after a long research I thought this Wellness food could be the perfect solution, due to its ingredients and price. My dog LOVES food in general but after opening the second bag of this food, she stopped eating; for days she looked at me like “What is this...” and walked away..... she never refuses food.
I switched her to another brand and she s eating normally again.

Alive and thriving

I must admit we researched just about every kibble on the market right now and we were impressed by the quality ingredients found in the Wellness brand. And we were especially happy when we noticed the specific for large breed puppy. Puppy that will be a large breed require nutrition that will support their bone, muscle, brain growth. Our shelter rescue German Shepard is alive and thriving. She gained 6.5 lbs in her first week with us. I think she is now off to a yummy start to her life.

Ruby didn’t like it

I did a lot of research before getting this food and it has really great reviews and the ingredients Are high quality. However after a 3 weeks of trying to make my dog like it I gave up. Her stools were very soft with this and she would turn away from the food, I tried two different bags and same result. A 8 week old puppy should gobble anything right??? I ended up changing to victor nutra pro puppy after alot more research and she loves it and her stools are formed :)

my puppy hates it

I have a rhodesian lab mix 8month old puppy who eats just about everything I mean literally everything. She’s very food motivated and she used to jump when it was feeding time. She’s had 2 other types of dry food before I switched her to this one which I had no problem with those because when I first adopted her she was on Science Diet and I bought her Authority before adopting her and so I finished the Science Diet and switched her to the Authority food I had bought prior to getting her and realized that’s probably not the best food for her, I wanted her to eat healthier so I put her on this. She hasn’t gotten excited in a while since she started eating this food.

I think I’m going to switch her back to Science Diet.… more
